Citroen Basalt X Set for September 5 Debut: What’s New With The Update?

​Citroen India is ready to expand its business in the Indian automotive market. The brand has made plans to launch its much-anticipated model, Basalt X, in the Indian market on September 5, 2025. The French carmaker has already confirmed that the pre-bookings for the flagship model coupe-SUV are now open across the nation.

The customers who are willing to buy the car can even book the vehicle by paying a token amount of Rs 11,000 for the Basalt X. This new iteration of the Basalt X is being launched under the brand’s new strategy to improve its reach with sales and services to the people of India. Let's look at the possible specifications and details of advancement as it makes its way to Indian roads.

New Refreshed Design

The upcoming Citroen Basalt X is expected to receive major exterior design tweaks for the 2025 edition. However, all these upgrades might be similar to those of C3X. The Basalt X will be crafted with an all-black exterior theme, paired with dual-tone 16-inch alloy wheels. The front fascia of the car will receive more sleek and aerodynamically rich contours. Yet, the configuration of the LED headlamps with integrated DRLs might be the same as that of the current existing models.

Premium Cabin

Inside the cabin, the Basalt X will receive significant upgrades from the standard Basalt under the portfolio. The dashboard will be encapsulated with black-and-tan accents. Furthermore, the cabin will be offering dual-tone premium leather upholstery within the package. Getting behind the wheel, the driver will be witnessing a 7-inch digital driver's display integrated with additional functions like automatic climate control and a wireless charging option.

A new rear center armrest with twin cupholders aims to infuse a premium vibe absent in the standard Basalt. Teaser shots also indicate the possibility of ambient lighting, and a new dashboard pattern incorporated with a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system will complement the premium touch.

Enhanced Feature List

Building on the success of the recently launched Citroen C3X, the Basalt X will offer enhanced features to boost your driving experience. Expect added convenience features such as keyless entry, push-button start/stop, and a 360-degree camera system. For the 2025 iteration, safety is paramount, with six airbags standard, along with hill hold assist. Other features may include:

• Cruise Control
  
• ABS with EBD
  
• Electronic Stability Program
  
• Hill Hold Assist
• Tyre Pressure Monitoring System

​Citroen Basalt X: Engine & Performance

Under the hood, the Basalt X will use Citroen’s tried-and-tested 1.2-liter three-cylinder turbo-petrol engine. This 1.2L is powerful enough to produce 110 HP and 205 m of torque, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission setup.

Conclusion

The upcoming Basalt X is perfectly positioned to compete with the Tata Curvv, Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, and other compact SUVs in the market. Citroen’s Basalt X is not just a new model—it’s a bold chapter in the brand’s story for India. The vehicle will be an excellent choice for those seeking the Basalt X, which builds on the brand's "Shift into the New" philosophy and incorporates direct feedback from Indian customers.
